HELLO. HEADING INTO THE LONG WEEKEND AND SOME SETTLED WEATHER QUITE AN ACTIVE DAY, SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS QUITE WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND RIGHT NOW IT'S 6 O'CLOCK. DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF 1 NEWS, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. NOT GUILTY AND NOT TALKING ` BUT WE'LL TELL YOU ABOUT GABLE TOSTEE'S CRIMINAL PAST, HIS SORDID SEXUAL BOASTS AND HOW WOMEN FOUND HIM CREEPY. BOXING BIG TIME ` JOSEPH PARKER'S SET TO FIGHT FOR A WORLD TITLE RIGHT HERE IN NZ. WILL IT BE A STADIUM FILLER? DONALD TRUMP SAYS HE WILL ACCEPT THE RESULT OF THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, BUT ONLY... IF I WIN. CHEERING CHEERS FROM SUPPORTERS, BUT WIDESPREAD OUTRAGE FROM OTHERS AS TRUMP THREATENS AN AMERICAN TRADITION. KIA ORA. GOOD EVENING. THE JURY WASN'T ALLOWED TO KNOW, BUT WE CAN NOW REVEAL GABLE TOSTEE'S UNSAVOURY PAST, INCLUDING THE PRIVATE-SCHOOLED AUSTRALIAN'S RUN-INS WITH THE LAW. ALSO REVEALED ` THE MAN FOUND NOT GUILTY OF MURDERING NZER WARRIENA WRIGHT'S NUMEROUS BOASTS ABOUT HIS SEXUAL EXPLOITS AND HOW SOME WOMEN FOUND HIM CREEPY. AUSTRALIA CORRESPONDENT RUTH WYNN-WILLIAMS HAS MORE. NO WORDS, BUT IN THE CENTRE OF A MEDIA FRENZY, A MOMENT OF REALISATION ` GABLE TOSTEE IS A FREE MAN. MR TOSTEE IS VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULT. HE IS RELIEVED THIS MATTER IS NOW BEHIND HIM, AND HE IS LOOKING FORWARD TO MOVING ON WITH HIS LIFE. BUT DETAILS OF HIS PAST CAN BE REVEALED. HE'S DESCRIBED HIMSELF AS A 'SUPERHERO' ON FACEBOOK AND BOASTED OF BEDDING 260 WOMEN. HE CLAIMS HE'S PICKED UP MORE THAN A HUNDRED DATES ON TINDER. AND ONE OF THOSE WOMEN WHO GAVE A STATEMENT TO POLICE SAYS SHE EXPERIENCED HIS FIRST-DATE FORMULA. IT WAS VERY MUCH BELITTLING. HE THOUGHT HE WAS THE MAN AND I SHOULD BE, I GUESS, A BIT MORE DOTING ON HIM, BUT THAT'S NOT HOW I WAS. YEAH, HE WAS AN INTIMIDATING PERSON. THEY'D BEEN AT A BAR FOR JUST HALF AN HOUR BEFORE HE SUGGESTED GOING BACK TO HIS APARTMENT, LIKE HE DID WITH WARRIENA WRIGHT. HE, YEAH, DEFINITELY WANTED TO SLEEP WITH ME. THAT'S WHAT HE WANTS OUT OF WOMEN. LAST YEAR, HE PENNED POLICE AN APOLOGY AND SERVED SIX MONTHS IN PRISON FOR A DRUNKEN CAR CHASE, BUT NO WORDS OF APOLOGY YET FOR THE WRIGHT FAMILY. HIS LACK OF SORROW IS PRIMARILY DUE TO MY DIRECTION. HE HAS OFTEN EXPRESSED SYMPATHY TO ME AND A WILLINGNESS TO EXPRESS HIS SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY MEMBERS, BUT IT'S CERTAINLY BEEN AT MY ADVICE NOT TO DO THAT. OUTSIDE COURT, WARRIENA WRIGHT'S FAMILY MADE A FINAL PLEA FOR PRIVACY. SO, THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PULL THE PIECES OF THEIR OWN LIFE BACK TOGETHER AGAIN, AND SO THEY ALSO HAVE THE SPACE TO GRIEVE IN THEIR OWN WAY AND IN PEACE. IT WAS DUBBED THE TRIAL OF THE YEAR HERE IN QUEENSLAND, AND THE DRAWN INTENSE SCRUTINY ON THIS CASE ALMOST SAW THE TRIAL ABORTED BEFORE THE VERDICT WAS EVEN HANDED DOWN. A JUROR WAS CAUTIONED FOR POSTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA, AND POLICE WENT ON THE HUNT FOR A MYSTERY BLONDE, WHO WAS LIVE TWEETING SUPPRESSED INFOMATION. I WAS WRONGLY DETAINED AND QUESTIONED OVER THAT. THERE'S SPECULATION GABLE TOSTEE COULD MAKE A DEAL TO SELL HIS SIDE OF THE STORY, AND HIS LAWYER SAYS THE SELF-STYLED SOCIAL-MEDIA PLAYBOY IS IN NO RUSH TO GO BACK ONLINE. RUTH WYNN-WILLIAMS, 1 NEWS, BRISBANE. AFTER ALL THE SPECULATION AND SHADOW BOXING, THERE'S CONFIRMATION TONIGHT JOSEPH PARKER WILL FIGHT FOR A WORLD TITLE HERE IN NZ BEFORE CHRISTMAS. YVONNE TAHANA REPORTS ON WHAT PROMISES TO BE THE SPORTING EVENT OF THE YEAR. DAVID TUA HAD TO GO TO LAS VEGAS FOR HIS SHOT AT A WORLD TITLE. I GOT GOOSEBUMPS THE SIZE OF GRAPEFRUITS. 16-YEARS LATER, JOSEPH PARKER'S BRINGING THE WORLD TO AUCKLAND AND NZ FIGHT FANS. YEAH, COULD BE THEIR ONE AND ONLY TIME THAT THEY'LL ENTER INTO A STADIUM WHERE THERE'S GOING TO BE A WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE FOUGHT FOR. PARKER'LL FIGHT MEXICAN ANDY RUIZ JNR FOR THE WBO TITLE LEFT VACANT BY TYSON FURY. RUIZ AIN'T OF THAT CALIBRE, BUT IT'S JUST NICE FOR A GENUINE WORLD TITLE FIGHT TO BE HELD IN NZ. THIS MAY BE A ONE-OFF, WE MAY NEVER GET A TITLE FIGHT HERE AGAIN, SO IT'S GOING TO BE A RARE OPPORTUNITY. AND A WINNER FOR THE HOST CITY. FIGHT NIGHT ON DECEMBER 10 WILL BE BEAMED INTO NEARLY 100 MILLION HOMES AROUND THE GLOBE. MOST WILL BE IN OUR MAIN TOURISM MARKETS ` THE US, THE UK AND ASIA. THIS OS GOING TO GENERATE MILLIONS OF INTERNATIONAL EXPOSURE FOR US, AND WE EXPECT VISITORS FROM ASIA PACIFIC TO BE IN TOWN FOR THE FIGHT. THE TAB IS ALSO EXPECTING RECORDS TO BE BROKEN. IN 2000, PUNTERS SPENT $2M ON THE DAVID TUA FIGHT, BUT THE PARKER BOUT IS EASILY EXPECTED TO EXCEED THAT. WE'RE BRACING OURSELVES FOR SOMETHING PRETTY BIG, AND I THINK THE PUBLIC ARE READY FOR IT, AND WE'RE READY FOR IT. EVEN THE ALL BLACKS, WHO KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT POPULARITY, HAVE PARKER FEVER. I'LL BE HITTING HIM UP FOR SOME FREE TICKETS. (LAUGHS) I'LL BE THERE FOR SURE. CAN'T MISS IT. JOSEPH PARKER IS GUARANTEED AT LEAST A MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE FIGHT, WITH MANY MORE MILLIONS TO COME IF HE WINS. THE BIG TIME BECKONS FOR THE 24-YEAR-OLD FROM MANGERE. YVONNE TAHANA, 1 NEWS. NZ HAD ITS BIGGEST MONTHLY GAIN OF MIGRANTS LAST MONTH ` A SIGN THE CURRENT MIGRATION BOOM IS FAR FROM PEAKING. THE GAIN OF 6300 MIGRANTS LAST MONTH TAKES THE ANNUAL NET GAIN TO A RECORD 70,000. THE LATEST SURGE APPEARS TO HAVE POLITICAL EDITOR CORIN DANN HAS THE STORY. FINDING SKILLED LOCAL WORKERS IN THE BOOMING BUILDING SECTOR IS A NIGHTMARE. SO WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW IS BEING PROACTIVE AND TRYING TO LOOK AT OTHER OPTIONS. AND THAT'S WHETHER IT'S SOUTH AFRICA, AMERICA, THE UK, ASIA. WE'VE JUST GOTTA LOOK AND TRY FIND THE IDEAL PEOPLE. THAT DEMAND FOR FOREIGN WORKERS COMES AMIDST SIGNS OF A FRESH SURGE IN MIGRATION, STATISTICS NZ FIGURES FOR SEPTEMBER SHOWING THE HIGHEST EVER MONTHLY NET GAIN OF 6300 MIGRANTS. IT'S BEING VERY MUCH DRIVEN BY EMPLOYERS WANTING THESE SKILLED PEOPLE COME THROUGH, AND, OF COURSE, YOU ARE GOING TO GET A LOT OF INTEREST FROM OVERSEAS 30% OF THE 125,000 MIGRANTS COMING HERE IN THE LAST YEAR DID SO ON WORK VISAS, BUT THE GOVERNMENT SAYS THAT'S NOT THE FULL STORY. WELL, ACTUALLY, IT'S NOT WORK VISAS SO MUCH AS WORKING HOLIDAY VISAS, AND, OF COURSE, THEY'RE ONLY HERE FOR ABOUT A YEAR, SO THEY CONTRIBUTE TO THE TOURISM STORY, WHICH IS VERY BIG GROWTH AND A POSITIVE STORY FOR NZ. OTHER BIG DRIVERS OF THE MIGRATION BOOM CONTINUE TO BE INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS, RETURNING KIWIS AND AUSTRALIANS. CRITICS SAY IT'S SIMPLY TOO MANY. EVERYWHERE YOU'VE GOT HOUSING, HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS, ALL INFRASTRUCTURE'S UNDER SERIOUS STRESS, PARTICULARLY IN AUCKLAND, AND WE SIMPLY CAN'T AFFORD THIS NUMBER. TODAY'S FIGURES SHOWING A RECORD NET GAIN OF 70,000 MIGRANTS IN THE YEAR ARE A SURPRISE, AS ECONOMISTS THOUGHT THAT THE CURRENT BOOM HAD PEAKED. AND WHILE MIGRATION EXPERTS SAY THE NUMBERS ARE LIKELY TO STAY HIGH, THEY WARN THAT THE GOVERNMENT'S TIGHTENING OF RESIDENCY RESTRICTIONS LAST WEEK WILL HAVE AN IMPACT. WHILST I CAN SEE THAT THEY NORMALLY DO REVIEW THEIRENUMBERS, THEY'VE GONE TOO FAR. IT'S ALWAYS A BALANCE. YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SUFFICIENT MIGRANTS TO HELP BUSINESS GROW ALONGSIDE AS DOMESTIC WORKERS. A BALANCING ACT THAT WON'T GET ANY EASIER IF THIS BOOM CONTINUES INTO ELECTION YEAR. CORIN DANN, 1 NEWS. DONALD TRUMP IS BACKPEDALLING ON COMMENTS HE'LL DISPUTE THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION RESULTS IF HE LOSES, BUT THAT'S NOT THE ONLY HEADACHE FOR THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE. BOTH BARACK AND MICHELLE OBAMA HAVE BEEN OUT CAMPAIGNING FOR HILLARY CLINTON, AND ALL THREE ARE ACCUSING HIM OF BEING UNDEMOCRATIC. HERE'S JESSICA MUTCH. A CHARITY DINNER WAS THE ONLY WAY TO CONVINCE HILLARY CLINTON AND DONALD TRUMP TO MAKE FUN OF THEMSELVES RATHER THAN EACH OTHER. I HOPE YOU ENJOYED MY REMARKS TONIGHT. I SAID NO TO SOME JOKES ` I THOUGHT WERE OVER THE LINE ` BUT I SUPPOSE YOU CAN JUDGE FOR YOURSELF ON WIKILEAKS IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THEY SAY WHEN YOU DO THIS KIND OF EVENT, YOU ALWAYS START OUT WITH A SELF-DEPRECATING JOKE. SOME PEOPLE THINK THIS WOULD BE TOUGH FOR ME, BUT THE TRUTH IS... BUT IT'S HIS COMMENTS AT YESTERDAY'S DEBATE, SAYING HE MIGHT DISPUTE THE ELECTION RESULT IF HE LOSES THAT HAVE GOT HIM INTO TROUBLE. I WILL KEEP YOU IN SUSPENSE. COMMENTS HE CLARIFIED TODAY,... SORT OF. I WILL TOTALLY ACCEPT THE RESULTS OF THIS GREAT AND HISTORIC PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION... IF I WIN. CROWD ROARS THAT DIDN'T GO DOWN WELL. YOU KNOW, IT WAS HORRIFYING, WHAT HE SAID. TRUMP BECOMES THE FIRST MAJOR PARTY NOMINEE IN AMERICAN HISTORY TO SUGGEST THAT HE WILL NOT CONCEDE DESPITE LOSING THE VOTE, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTRY, THE FIRST LADY WAS OUT CAMPAIGNING FOR HILLARY CLINTON TOO. YOU DO NOT KEEP AMERICAN DEMOCRACY IN SUSPENSE. THAT'S NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM FOR DONALD TRUMP ` KARENA VIRGINIA IS THE 10TH WOMAN TO GO PUBLIC WITH CLAIMS HE ASSAULTED HER. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT MR TRUMP WILL CALL ME A LIAR, JUST AS HE CALLED ALL THE OTHER WOMEN LIARS. IT'S BEEN A REOCCURRING DISTRACTION FOR THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN. NOBODY HAS MORE RESPECT FOR WOMEN THAN I DO. NOBODY. IN 19 DAYS, WE'LL KNOW WHO GETS THE LAST LAUGH AND THE TITLE OF PRESIDENT. JESSICA MUTCH, 1 NEWS. A FORMER HIGH-PROFILE MP IS HOPING HER BATTLE WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY FAILURE WILL ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO CONSIDER BECOMING ORGAN DONORS. GEORGINA BEYER WAS DIAGNOSED THREE YEARS AGO AND IS NOW THROWING HER SUPPORT BEHIND A MOVE TO HIKE PAYMENTS TO LIVE ORGAN DONORS. BRIAR WELLS REPORTS. GEORGINA BEYER SPENT YEARS FIGHTING FOR THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS, BUT ITS HER OWN BATTLE WITH KIDNEY FAILURE THAT'S BEEN THE HARDEST. IT'S A BIG CHALLENGE AND IT'S SOMETHING I SIMPLY CAN'T CONTROL AND I HATE THAT. ON DIALYSIS FOR FIVE HOURS, THREE DAYS A WEEK, IT'S THE ONLY THING KEEPING THE FORMER LABOUR MP ALIVE. A GOOD FRIEND HAS OFFERED TO BE HER DONOR, BUT HER HEART CONDITION HAS PUT THE TRANSPLANT ON HOLD. HE TOOK ME OUT TO LUNCH AND PROCEEDED TO SAY, 'I'VE DECIDED THAT I'D LIKE TO DONATE MY KIDNEY TO YOU.' I SAT THERE ARE CRIED. (LAUGHS) SHE'S LUCKY. NZ HAS ONE OF THE LOWEST ORGAN DONATION RATES IN THE WORLD, BUT THERE'S GROWING NEED, WITH AROUND 750 PEOPLE WAITING FOR AN ORGAN. WHAT WE DO KNOW IS THAT, FOR SOME PEOPLE, WHEN THEY LOOK AT DONATING AN ORGAN, MAKING THAT SACRIFICE, THAT DECISION, THE FINANCIAL BARRIERS ARE SOMETHING THEY THINK ABOUT. CHRIS BISHOP'S BILL THAT WILL FULLY COMPENSATE RECOVERING ORGAN DONORS FOR LOST WAGES FOR UP TO 12 WEEKS PASSED ITS SECOND READING WITH UNANIMOUS SUPPORT THIS WEEK. IT'S HOPED IT'LL GO SOME WAY IN HELPING TO BRING THOSE DONOR RATES UP. CURRENTLY, DONORS OF KIDNEYS AND OTHER TISSUE ONLY GET THE EQUIVALENT OF THE SICKNESS BENEFIT. THE EXISTING REIMBURSEMENT RATE, IT DOESN'T EVEN COVER THE COST OF THE AVERAGE MORTGAGE. IT IS A SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENT FOR A DONOR TO MAKE. GEORGINA BEYER SAYS IT'S A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO TALK TO LOVED ONES ABOUT ORGAN DONATION. YES, OF COURSE I WANT TO LIVE, BUT IF IT MEANS BEING HOOKED UP TO THIS THING FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE, NOT SO HAPPY ABOUT THAT. BUT IF THE PROSPECT OF TRANSPLANT IS STILL THERE, THEN THAT'S PROBABLY WORTH GOING FOR. A LIFE-SAVING GIFT SHE HOPES SHE'LL ONE DAY BE ABLE TO ACCEPT. BRIAR WELLS, 1 NEWS. THEY'VE TACKLED THE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE, DEMOLISHING OVER HALF OF THE RED-ZONED PROPERTIES IN CHRISTCHURCH'S PORT HILLS SINCE THE EARTHQUAKES ` A MAJOR MILESTONE FOR A TRICKY AND DANGEROUS OPERATION THAT'S CAPTURED THE ATTENTION OF BIG DEMOLITION PLAYERS AROUND THE WORLD. LISA DAVIES HAS MORE. WORKING BENEATH AN OMINOUS CLIFF. WITHOUT THE TECH, WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO THIS PROJECT ` IT'S AS SIMPLE AS. THE MAN BEHIND THE CONTROLS AGREES. THE MACHINE'S REPLACEABLE; HUMANS AREN'T, TO A CERTAIN DEGREE. SO IT MEANS I GO HOME SAFELY, SEE MY WIFE AND KIDS. THESE SUMNER CLIFFS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE THEY COLLAPSED IN THE FEBRUARY EARTHQUAKE, DESTROYING HOMES. THE CONTAINERS HAVE BEEN HERE EVER SINCE. WE EXPECTED THEM TO BE HERE A COUPLE OF MONTHS. THIS $4M PROJECT MAKING THE CLIFFS SAFE WILL SEE THE CONTAINERS REMOVED BY CHRISTMAS, BUT THEY'VE DONE THEIR JOB. THE SIDES OF THE CONTAINERS LOOK LIKE THE BACK WALL OF A SHOOTING RANGE. THEY'VE BEEN SMASHED THROUGH, BIG HOLES, AND ARE FULL OF ROCKS. ALARMINGLY, THERE'S EVIDENCE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INSIDE THEM. A LITTLE SCARED, TO BE HONEST. YOU WOULDN'T WANNA BE IN A CONTAINER WHEN A ROCK BURST THROUGH IT. DRONE FOOTAGE TAKEN HERE HAS HELPED CREATE 3D IMAGERY OF THE SITE TO SHOW WORKERS THE HAZARDS TO AVOID. YOU CAN SEE THE AREAS THAT ARE GONNA BE AT HIGH RISK. THE DEMOLITION WORK HERE IN CHRISTCHURCH HAS ATTRACTED INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION, BECAUSE AFTER 165,000 MAN HOURS, THERE'VE BEEN NO SERIOUS INJURIES. THE DIGGER DEVELOPER NOMINATED FOR AN INTERNATIONAL AWARD, BECAUSE OF ITS LIFESAVING INGENUITY. THE WHOLE WORLD IS LOOKING AT US AND SAYING YOU SHOULD HAVE EXPERIENCED THREE OR FOUR FATALITIES IN THE DEMOLITION INDUSTRY IN CHRISTCHURCH. OVER 300 HILL HOMES HAVE BEEN DEMOLISHED, WITH JUST AS MANY TO GO BY 2018. SO THE EARTHQUAKE PUSHED THE WALL FORWARD AND OUTWARD. IT'LL BE GONE NEXT WEEK,... YOU CAN EASILY ACTUALLY DROP IN THERE. ...AS THEY REMOVE THE HILL-TOP HAZARDS ONE BY ONE. LISA DAVIES, ONE NEWS. THE FUTURE OF HIGH-PROFILE CHILDREN'S CLOTHING RETAILER PUMPKIN PATCH IS LOOKING SHAKY.

THE VALUES OF ITS SHARES PLUMMETED ALMOST 50% IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS TO 6 CENTS. A TRADING HALT'S NOW IN PLACE AHEAD OF A COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT. THE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE FIRE SERVICE ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF PROTECTING LIFE AND PROPERTY, AND TWO CHRISTCHURCH CREWS WERE CERTAINLY LIFE SAVERS TODAY AS THEY RESPONDED TO SOME CRIES OF HELP OF A DIFFERENT KIND. SAM CLARKE HAS MORE. PEEPING THE DESPERATE CRIES OF DUCKLINGS IN DISTRESS ` THREE FLEDGLING FOWL TRAPPED DOWN A DRAIN WITH MUM NOWHERE IN SIGHT. STEP UP THE ST ALBANS CREW AND THEIR CRACK DUCK-RESCUING OFFICERS FROM HAREWOOD. THEY'VE COME PREPARED... THEY'RE LIKE GHOSTBUSTERS, BUT THEY'RE DUCKBUSTERS. ...WITH A FIRE TRUCK, THEIR SPECIAL NET AND A BIT OF INGENUITY. WHOO-HOO! WE'VE HIT THE MOTHER LOAD. CHUCKLING THIS IS EASY PICKINGS. BUT THE HATCHLING HEROICS AREN'T OVER JUST YET. THREE LITTLE DARLING DUCKLINGS, SO NOW ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS FIND THE MOTHER. FOR THE LOCAL DUCKLING COMMUNITY, IT'S A HARD LESSON, ONE THEY'RE LEARNING SLOWLY. WE HAD TWO EXACTLY IN THIS SPOT LAST WEEK. FIVE THE FIRST DAY AND FOUR THE NEXT DAY, SO NOW WE'RE DOWN TO THREE. SO WE JUST HOPING THAT THE DUCKS LEARN NOT TO COME BACK TO THIS AREA AGAIN. NO JOB PROVING TOO BIG OR TOO CUTE. IN A HOUSE FIRE, WE DON'T LEAVE UNTIL IT'S OUT AND IT'S DONE PROPERLY. THE SAME WITH CAT RESCUES OR DUCK RESCUES OR ANYTHING ` WE MAKE SURE WE DO THE JOB. GETTING IT DONE ONE DUCKLING AT A TIME. THE HAREWOOD CRACK RESCUE TEAM STRIKES AGAIN. SAM CLARKE, 1 NEWS. IT'S NOT ONLY JUNIOR DOCTORS WORRIED ABOUT WORKING LONG HOURS. UP AHEAD ` A NZ BID TO CHANGE THE OATH ALL DOCTORS SWEAR, SO THEIR OWN HEALTH AND WELLBEING IS PART OF THE DEAL. IRAQI FORCES CLAIM RAPID PROGRESS IN THE MULTI FRONT MOVE ON MOSUL, BUT ISIS DRONES AND SUICIDE BOMBERS THREATEN COALITION FORCES EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. AND THE CREATIVE TALENT OF THE MAN BEHIND KAIWAKA'S FAMOUS TOILETS IS BROUGHT TO LIFE AGAIN IN WHANGAREI AS A NEW ART CENTRE GETS UNDERWAY.

AS THE JUNIOR DOCTORS STRIKE ENDED WITHOUT INCIDENT THIS WEEK, THE ISSUE OF OVERWORK WAS BEING BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE WORLD MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. IT CAME IN THE FORM OF A PETITION FROM NZ. THAT'S SET TO BRING A CHANGE IN THE WORDING OF THE OATH ALL DOCTORS SWEAR. HERE'S HEALTH REPORTER LORELEI MASON. THEY WALKED OFF THE JOB FOR 48 HOURS. 3000 JUNIOR DOCTORS FED UP WITH 16 HOUR, 12 DAY ROSTERS AND WEEK-LONG NIGHT SHIFTS. BY THE START OF THAT SECOND WEEK YOU'RE TIRED, YOU'RE FATIGUED. EVERY DECISION IS SO MUCH HARDER TO MAKE. BUT WHILE THEY'VE BEEN OFF WORK, QUEENSTOWN'S DR SAM HAZLEDINE, WHO THESE DAYS RUNS MEDICAL RECRUITMENT COMPANIES, HAS BEEN FIGHTING THEIR CORNER AT THE WORLD MEDICAL ASSOCIATION MEETING IN TAIPEI. HE PRESENTED A PETITION, SIGNED BY 4000 NZ DOCTORS, BOTH JUNIOR AND SENIOR, CALLING FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE DECLARATION OF GENEVA, THE MODERN-DAY HIPPOCRATIC OATH, FIX WHAT HE CALLS A GLARING OMISSION. I CALL IT MEDICINE'S DIRTY LITTLE SECRET. THAT OMISSION? STRESSED, OVER-WORKED DOCTORS NOT PUTTING THEIR OWN WELL-BEING FIRST. A RECENT STUDY IN NZ SHOWED THAT OVER 50% OF DOCTORS ARE RIGHT NOW EXPERIENCING SYMPTOMS OF BURN-OUT, OVER 50% WOULDN'T CHOOSE TO DO THE PROFESSION AGAIN SO WE ARE AS A PROFESSION IN CRISIS. A CRISIS, HE SAYS, CAUSED BY SELF-SACRIFICE AND ADHERENCE TO THE OATH OF 'FIRST DO NO HARM'. STRESS LEADS TO DEPERSONALISATION, WHICH IS AN EMOTIONAL DISCONNECTION FROM OUR PATIENTS, AND DEPERSONALISATION LEADS TO INCREASES IN MAJOR MEDICAL ERRORS. HE SAYS WHILE IT'S UP TO DHBs AND PROFESSIONAL BODIES TO LIMIT LONG HOURS AND STRESS, IT'S ALSO UP TO DOCTORS THEMSELVES TO MAKE WELLNESS A PRIORITY. THE PETITION, PRESENTED BY THE NZ MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, WAS OVERWHELMINGLY ACCEPTED AT THE WORLD MEETING, AND A DECISION WAS MADE TO SUPPORT IT, AND AMEND THE WORDING OF THE DECLARATION. WHEN WE ACKNOWLEDGE IT AS A PRIORITY, ACTUALLY IT CAN HAPPEN. WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN, IT COULD WELL BENEFIT TODAY'S JUNIOR DOCTORS IN THEIR QUEST FOR BETTER WORK-LIFE BALANCE. LORELEI MASON, 1 NEWS. OVERSEAS - REPORTS THAT NZ'S SAS SOLDIERS ARE INVOLVED IN FIGHTING IN NORTHERN IRAQ ARE BEING DENIED BY OUR GOVERNMENT. A BRITISH NEWSPAPER SAYS OUR ELITE TROOPS WERE INVOLVED IN CALLING IN AIR STRIKES, SUPPORTING KURDISH AND IRAQI FORCES BATTLING ISIS NEAR MOSUL. THE OFFENSIVE TO RECAPTURE THE LAST MAJOR ISIS STRONGHOLD IN IRAQ APPEARS TO BE GOING FASTER THAN PLANNED.

U.S SOLDIERS ASSISTING FROM THE AIR AND ADVISING ON THE GROUND, TONIGHT MOURNING ON OF THEIR OWN. AN AMERICAN SERVICE MEMBER KILLED BY AN I.E.D. THE COMMANDER OF THE U.S LED COALITION TELLING THE BBC ISIS WILL LIKELY USE HUMAN SHIELDS. THEY ARE A VERY RESILIENT AND CHALLENGING FOE. THEY'RE VERY ADAPTABLE, VERY CREATIVE, CUNNING. WE'VE SEEN ALL KINDS OF EXAMPLES OF THAT. WE'RE LEARNING THAT THIS BATTLE IS PLAYING OUT ONLINE AS WELL. BRITAIN, WHICH IS PART OF THE ANTI-ISIS COALITION, SAYING THAT CYBER WARFARE IS NOW BEING USED AGAINST ISIS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THIS CAMPAIGN. THE U.S. IS SEEKING AN EXPLANATION FROM THE PHILIPPINES PRESIDENT AFTER RODRIGO DUTERTE SIGNALLED HE WAS CUTTING TIES WITH WASHINGTON AND COSYING UP TO CHINA. DUTERTE STEPPED UP HIS RHETORIC ON A TRADE MISSION TO CHINA AFTER THE TWO COUNTRIES AGREED TO RESOLVE THEIR DIFFERENCES OVER THE SOUTH CHINA SEA.

AND BEN FROM ACCOUNTS AND HIS MATES ARE BACK AT SCHOOL TO ASSESS THE BUSINESS ACUMEN OF SOME BUDDING ENTREPRENEURS. LOOKING AT OUR TOP STORY TONIGHT. THE DAY AFTER HE WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY OF THE MURDER OF WARRIENA WRIGHT, MORE ABOUT GABLE TOSTEE'S PAST AND INTIMIDATING MANNER HAVE COME TO LIGHT. THE PRIVATE-SCHOOLED CARPET LAYER BOASTED OF HUNDREDS OF SEXUAL CONQUESTS, MANY OF THEM THROUGH THE DATING APP TINDER. BUT HIS LAWYER SAYS NOW TOSTEE'S IN NO HURRY TO GET BACK ONLINE. THEY WERE CELEBRATING A BOLD AND QUIRKY NEW PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE IN WHANGAREI TODAY. IT'S THE FIRST STAGE OF THE LONG-AWAITED ART CENTRE DESIGNED BY THE LATE REVOLUTIONARY ARTIST HUNDERTWASSER AS A GIFT TO THE CITY. HELEN CASTLES WAS AT THE OPENING. IT'S A WONKY STRUCTURE WITH A MISH-MASH OF COLOURS, TYPICAL OF HUNDERTWASSER. IT'S AMAZING, AMAZING. I JUST CAN'T VISUALISE ALL THIS WORK THAT'S GONE INTO THIS. I LOVE IT. I LOVE IT. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE REAL THING. THIS UNIQUE BUILD'S CALLED A FOLLY, AND ITS OPENING'S A BIG MOMENT FOR THE PROJECT. THIS IS A REQUIREMENT BY THE HUNDERTWASSER FOUNDATION, A FOLLY IS BUILT OR A SAMPLE STRUCTURE SO IT GETS ALL THE ELEMENTS OF THE ARTWORK INTO IT. SO IT GETS ALL THE ELEMENTS OF THE ARTWORK INTO IT. IT'LL ANCHOR THE MUCH LARGER ARTS CENTRE, INCLUDING AN EDUCATION WING, A GALLERY SHOWING HUNDERTWASSER'S ART AND A CONTEMPORARY MAORI GALLERY. THE DESIGN WAS A GIFT FROM THE WORLD-FAMOUS AUSTRIAN ARTIST WHO'D MADE NORTHLAND HIS HOME. THE ORNATE PUBLIC TOILETS IN KAWAKAWA ARE A POPULAR TOURIST ATTRACTION AND WERE HUNDERTWASSER'S LAST CREATION, BUT THE WHANGAREI CENTRE MEANS THEY WON'T BE HIS LAST. IT IS AMAZING, AND I'VE JUST GOT SUCH A REALLY GOOD TEAM, A REALLY GOOD TEAM, AND WHAT THEY ARE IS THEY'RE ALL VOLUNTEERS, JUST FROM THE COMMUNITY. THE ART CENTRE MUST BE BUILT IN KEEPING WITH HUNDERTWASSER'S EXACT STYLE. IN THE HUNDERTWASSER BUILDING, TYPICALLY EVERYTHING'S OUT OF LINE, SO TO GET IT RIGHT, YOU'VE GOTTA GET IT WRONG. WE'RE EXPECTING ABOUT 150,000 VISITORS A YEAR THAT WILL ACTUALLY PAY TO GO INTO THE BUILDING. AND WE'RE EXPECT AT LEAST 500,000 PEOPLE TO COME AND SEE THE BUILDING FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE CENTRE WILL COST $16M. LOCALS HAVE RAISED MOST OF THAT, BUT THEY STILL NEED TO COME UP WITH HAVE ANOTHER $3M BY JUNE. TO FINISH AN ARCHITECTURAL WONDER THAT WILL BE THE LAST AUTHENTIC HUNDERTWASSER DESIGN THE WORLD WILL SEE. HELEN CASTLES, 1 NEWS.

CHRIS CHANG REPORTS. IT'S HARD TO BE A WINNER WHEN YOU'RE TAKING ON AN ALL BLACK. YEAH, OWN GOAL! SO WHAT SORT OF CHANCE WOULD WESLEY INTERMEDIATE STUDENTS HAVE AGAINST THIS LINE-UP OF JUDGES IN THE DRAGONS' DEN?

ONE OF THE KEY BOXING SANCTIONING BODIES, THE WBO, HAS CONFIRMED PARKER WILL TAKE ON MEXICAN ANDY RUIZ ON DECEMBER 10 FOR THE TITLE VACATED BY ENGLISHMAN TYSON FURY. IT GUARANTEES TO BE A HUGE SPORTING EVENT. JOSEPH PARKER'S PROMOTERS WERE FLAT-OUT TODAY IN BRISBANE WITH ANOTHER OF THEIR BOXING STABLE, AUSTRALIAN WELTERWEIGHT JEFF HORN. BUT PARKER'S CONFIRMED TITLE SHOT WAS ALL THE BUZZ. TO BE ABLE TO HAVE EVERYTHING COME TOGETHER AND HAVE THIS FIGHT TAKE PLACE IN AUCKLAND, NZ IS A MASSIVE MASSIVE THING. RETIRED KIWI HEAVYWEIGHT KALI MEEHAN FOUGHT FOR A WORLD TITLE IN LAS VEGAS IN 2004. WHEN YOU LOOK AT JOSEPH PARKER, HE'S BEEN FIGHTING OFTEN, LITTLE STEPS UP AS HE GOES. HE'S HAD SUCH A LOT OF FIGHTS IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. THAT'S TO HIS BENEFIT. I THINK HE'S READY TO TAKE THAT NEXT STEP. PARKER'S OPPONENT, ANDY RUIZ (27), IS UNBEATEN. HE LOOKS OVERWEIGHT, BUT HAS FAST HANDS. HE'S RANKED IN THE MID-20S IN THE INDEPENDENT WORLD RANKINGS, PARKER 7TH. HE LOOKS OVERWEIGHT, BUT HAS FAST HANDS.

HE'S A BIG MAN HE'S STRONG. HE LIKES TO COME TO FIGHT. RUIZ IS HANDLED BY LEGENDARY AMERICAN PROMOTER BOB ARUM (84). THINK MANNY PACQUIAO, OSCAR DE LA HOYA AND MANY OTHERS. THIS IS FANTASTIC.

CONFIRMATION OF THE FIGHT SPARKED INTEREST TODAY IN THE FIGHT FANS AMONGST THE ALL BLACKS.

WHEREVER IT'S STAGED ON DECEMBER 10TH, THE PARKER-RUIZ SHOWDOWN WILL BE ANOTHER HISTORIC SPORTING MOMENT. 'THIS IS THE WORLD TITLE. I'M FIGHTING FOR THE WORLD TITLE.' BY THE TIME YOU FINALLY GET IN THE RING, YOU'RE JUST PUMPED, AND YOU'RE JUST READY FOR THAT BIG BIG MOMENT. A WIN AND EVEN BIGGER MOMENTS OVERSEAS AWAIT THE POPULAR YOUNG KIWI.

A WIN FOR READ AND THE ALL BLACKS TOMORROW NIGHT, AND HE SETS HIS OWN CAPTAINCY WORLD RECORD, 19 CONSECUTIVE WINS AS SKIPPER, BEATING PREVIOUS HOLDER, ENGLAND'S LAWRENCE DALLAGLIO. THE WALLABIES HAVE MADE SWEEPING CHANGES TO THE SIDES THAT TWICE LOST HEAVILY TO THE ALL BLACKS EARLIER THIS YEAR. FIRST FIVE QUADE COOPER DROPS TO THE BENCH IN ONE OF FOUR BACKLINE CHANGES, WHILE BERNARD FOLEY RETURNS TO HIS FAVOURED NUMBER 10 JERSEY, JUST AS STEVE HANSEN PREDICTED YESTERDAY. WELL, THE BUG'S OBVIOUSLY NOT WORKING ANY MORE, SO HE MUST HAVE HAD SOMEONE THERE WATCHING US. I DON'T KNOW. YOU KNOW, HE MUST HAVE KNOWN SOMEHOW. I'M NOT QUITE SURE. COS THE BUG'S GONE. WE DID A BIT OF A BROOM AROUND, WE COULDN'T FIND ANY. ALSO BACK IN THE SIDE IS OUTSTANDING LOOSE FORWARD DAVID POCOCK, WHO MAKES HIS RETURN VIA THE BENCH. 80 MINUTES IS SO IMPORTANT AGAINST NZ, YOU KNOW, BEING ON ALL THE TIME, BECAUSE THEY STRIKE WHENEVER YOU'RE NOT ON. AND HAVING A PLAYER OF THAT EXPERIENCE COMING ON IN THE BACK PART OF THE GAME, YOU KNOW, AND THAT QUALITY WILL HELP US STAY AT THE LEVEL WE'RE GONNA NEED TO BE. THE ALL BLACKS HAVE OUTSCORED THE WALLABIES 10 TRIES TO ONE IN THEIR CLASHES THIS SEASON. WE FINALLY HAVE A COMPETITIVE CRICKET SERIES ON OUR HANDS, AS THE BLACK CAPS NOTCH UP THEIR FIRST ONE DAY WIN AGAINST INDIA IN INDIA IN OVER A DECADE. CAPTAIN KANE WILLIAMSON WAS OUTSTANDING WITH THE BAT, WHILE A TEAM PERFORMANCE IN THE FIELD LED THEM TO A DRAMATIC 6-RUN VICTORY IN DELHI. KIMBERLEE DOWNS REPORTS. FROM LOSING A FIFTH STRAIGHT TOSS IN INDIA, TO THIS ON THE SECOND BALL OF THE DAY. JUST A LITTLE BIT OF MOVEMENT. A BATSMAN'S NIGHTMARE. YOU WOULD BE FORGIVEN FOR THINKING THIS MIGHT BE ANOTHER STORY ABOUT THE HOSTS' DOMINANCE. BUT SLOWLY THE NARRATIVE CHANGED, AS TOM LATHAM SHOWED OFF HIS TECHNIQUE, WHILE KANE WILLIAMSON WAS NOTHING SHORT OF SUPERB. OH, TAKES THE AERIAL ROUTE. LOVELY SHOT. THE PAIR PUT ON 120 RUNS FOR THE SECOND WICKET BEFORE LATHAM SUCCUMBED JUST SHORT OF A HALF CENTURY. WILLIAMSON UNBOTHERED UNTIL HIS ARMS STARTED CRAMPING UP, EVEN THAT COULDN'T STOP HIM. THERE'S THE HUNDRED. IT'S A MGNIFICENT ONE. THE FIRST CENTURY BY A NZ BATSMEN ON THE TOUR, AND THE 26-YEAR-OLD'S EIGHTH ONE-DAY HUNDRED, CELEBRATED IN TYPICALLY MUTED FASHION. INDIA WOULD RESPOND, THOUGH. THE KIWIS LOST 6 WICKETS AND SCORED JUST 40 RUNS IN THE LAST 10 OVERS. SO AS NIGHT FELL, WHAT COULD THE BOWLERS PRODUCE? NICKED AND GONE, YES! ROHIT SHARMA GONE, THE DANGEROUS VIRAT KOHLI WOULD FOLLOW SOON AFTER, STRANGLED DOWN LEG SIDE, EVEN HE HAD A WRY SMILE ABOUT THAT ONE. MORE WICKETS FALLING COURTESY OF SOME EXCEPTIONAL FIELDING AND WHILE THIS RUN OUT WAS IMPRESSIVE, TIM SOUTHEE'S EFFORT TO SNARE THE GREAT M.S DHONI WAS SENSATIONAL. OH, TAKEN! OUTSTANDING! AND IS THAT THE FINAL NAIL IN THE INDIAN COFFIN? FAR FROM IT. THOUGH A BIZARRE OVER FROM PART-TIMER MARTIN GUPTILL WOULD BRING IT CLOSE ` 4 WIDES, 10 BALLS, 2 WICKETS. EVEN THEN INDIA'S BATSMEN FOUGHT. THEY NEEDED 16 OFF THE LAST 2 OVERS. NZ WERE AFTER 2 WICKETS. AND IT WILL BE TAKEN THIS TIME. PIN DROP SILENCE IN THE CROWD. THEN, ON THE THIRD BALL OF THE FINAL OVER ` BOWLED HIM! VERY NICE TO GET A WIN, SHOW THAT FIGHT THAT WE CERTAINLY PRIDE OURSELVES ON. IT WAS ONE OF THOSE SURFACES WHERE SCRAPPING WAS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. THEIR FIRST VICTORY ON THIS TOUR, AND THE FIRST TIME THEY'VE WON IN ANY FORMAT IN DELHI. KIMBERLEE DOWNS, 1 NEWS. PLENTY OF CREDIT MUST GO TO THE NZ BOWLERS FOR DEFENDING THAT TOTAL OF 242, TIM SOUTHEE AND TRENT BOULT THE STANDOUTS, BOULT MAKING THE MOST OF HIS RETURN TO THE ONE-DAY LINE-UP WITH FIGURES OF 2/25 OFF HIS 10 OVERS. THE THIRD OF FIVE ONE-DAYERS IS IN MOHALI ON SUNDAY. WHILE THEY NARROWED THE MARGIN, POOR SHOOTING STATS ENSURED THE SILVER FERNS WOULD AGAIN CONCEDE NETBALL'S CONSTELLATION CUP TO AUSTRALIA. THE FERNS NEEDED TO WIN BIG IN INVERCARGILL TO TAKE OUT THE SERIES, BUT IT WAS THE DIAMONDS SURGING TO THE FRONT. OH, BEAUTIFULLY FLIGHTED BALL FROM ROBINSON. THE FERNS WERE STILL IN THE GAME, HEADING IN TO THE FINAL QUARTER AND EVEN THE FINAL MINUTE, UNTIL A MISFIRING BAILEY MES BLEW THIS CHANCE TO BRING THEM WITHIN ONE POINT, THE DIAMONDS GOING ON TO WIN THE FINAL TEST 49-45, TAKING THE SERIES 3-1 TO END LAURA LANGMAN'S 12-YEAR INTERNATIONAL CAREER FOR NOW. WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A CELEBRATION TURNED INTO A MISERABLE NIGHT FOR THE BREAKERS, DOWNED BY AN IMPRESSIVE SYDNEY OUTFIT IN AUCKLAND. THE HOME TEAM WAS HOPING TO MARK CAPTAIN MIKA VUKONA'S 300TH GAME IN STYLE, BUT INSTEAD COULD ONLY MUSTER A RATHER MESSY PERFORMANCE, TURNING THE BALL OVER 17 TIMES, COMPARED TO SYDNEY'S SEVEN, THE VISITORS STRETCHING THEIR LEAD THROUGHOUT THE GAME TO WIN 92-78. DEFENSIVELY, WE ALLOWED A TEAM TO SCORE 92 POINTS AT HOME, YOU KNOW. IT JUST WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH, AND THEY HAD US FROM THE GET-GO. THE BREAKERS ARE NOW 1 AND 2 FOR THE SEASON AND HAVE TO BACK UP AGAINST THE NEWLY RETURNED BULLETS IN BRISBANE TOMORROW. FOR MANY, THE CHANCE TO SAIL WITH A BUNCH OF MATES IS A GREAT WAY TO START YOUR LONG WEEKEND. BUT AS WE BECOME MORE TIME-POOR AND CREW MEMBERS ARE HARDER TO RECRUIT, SOLO SAILING IS GAINING POPULARITY. FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME, THERE'S A SPECIAL DIVISION FOR SOLOS IN THIS WEEKEND'S ANNUAL COASTAL CLASSIC FROM AUCKLAND TO RUSSELL. ABBY WILSON REPORTS. A BUSY MORNING ON AUCKLAND HARBOUR ` EVEN TEAM NZ WANTED TO BE PART OF THE COASTAL CLASSIC ACTION. BUT FOR SOME, IT WAS BUSIER THAN MOST. SOME OF THESE BOATS HAVE GOT 14, 15 PEOPLE ON BOARD, AND THEY'VE ALL GOT A REALLY SPECIFIC JOB, BUT I'LL BE STEERING THE BOAT, I'LL BE NAVIGATING, I'LL BE LOOKING AT THE WIND, I'LL BE THINKING ABOUT TACTICS, I'LL BE TRIMMING THE SAILS. AND HE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE ` SEVEN SOLO SAILORS HAVE A LONG TRIP TO RUSSELL AHEAD OF THEM. IT COULD BE 24 HOURS ` IT COULD BE 30 HOURS IF THE WIND IS ON THE NOSE. ALTHOUGH, IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT THIS TIME. BUT SAILING SOLO HAS ITS PERKS ` IT'S A REAL TEST OF YOUR ABILITY, AND THERE'S NEVER A PROBLEM FINDING CREW. IT'S REALLY HARD ON A 40FT RACE BOAT TO HAVE SIX OR EIGHT PEOPLE TURN UP EVERY TIME, ALL THE TIME. AND IF YOU DON'T DO THAT, THEN MISTAKES HAPPEN WHEN YOU'RE SAILING, BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE NOT PRACTISED AT WHAT THEY'RE DOING. IT'S PROVING SO POPULAR, THERE'S NOW A SINGLE-HANDED SERIES IN AUCKLAND THAT ATTRACTS UP TO 40 YACHTS, THE COASTAL CLASSIC'S NEW SOLO DIVISION A RESPONSE TO DEMAND. THERE'S BEEN AN INCREASE IN OVERSEAS INTEREST IN SOLO, SO THERE'S A LOT OF BOATS HERE NOW INTERESTED IN DOING IT. IT'S A GROWING DEVELOPMENT. THERE'S PLENTY OF CRAZY PEOPLE LINING UP TO DO THIS STUFF. ONE OF THEM EVEN THE RACE DIRECTOR HIMSELF. AND WHILE THEY MAY BE CRAZY, YOU CAN'T SAY THEY'RE UNPREPARED. I'VE GOT PLENTY OF SUGAR, I'VE GOT SOME CAFFEINE, I'VE GOT SOME MUSIC. I'LL HAVE COFFEE AND HAVE A ROAST DINNER TONIGHT, PUT IT IN THE MICROWAVE ` THEY DON'T DO THAT ON THE RACE BOATS. THE ONE THING YOU DON'T DO AS A SOLO SAILOR IS RELY ON SOMEONE TO SAVE YOU IF YOU GET TOO CLOSE TO THE EDGE. ABBY WILSON, 1 NEWS. A roast dinner is a nice way to saill-off of the long weekend. ALSO TONIGHT ` HE HAD A ROUGH START IN LIFE. SO WHAT WAS IT THAT HELPED PHILLIP REACH NEW HEIGHTS? I'VE SUNG WITH A FEW BIG NAMES ` DAME KIRI TE KANAWA. PLUS ` IT'S AN UNUSUAL KIND OF GAME-DAY PREP. IT'S TRYING TO FEED TWO CRUISE LINERS IN 45 MINUTES. MEET THE CHEFS PROVIDING A DIFFERENT ALL BLACKS EXPERIENCE. And here I am at the Armageddon Expo. The doors have just opened. The long weekend is here and it will be a weekend for barbecues, but there will be a dent start to the East coast of the North island. It will be cold if you are hiking. The cold air works in and a good twist of cloud drives the system. The weekend high will build in. There are a couple of warnings for the East Coast. The severe thunderstorm watch is starting. Some good storms erupting here. That drifts towards Gisborne. The rain lingers through the day. The high builds and gives you a decent looking day. The wet weather becomes confined by the end of the day. One or two renegade showers in the North. This is a good-looking day. A frosty start for some down south. Strengthening winds. Look at these temperatures. The West Coast looks fine. A chilly start. There will be a frosty start for the East coast. Rain at times for Gisborne. Masterton looks good after a cool start. Central plateau may see one or two showers. Then they are all gone. Early showers further north. Brighter skies for the afternoon. FOR WEATHER, SEE TVNZ.CO.NZ. A big high building up for the weekend. You have done so well. Mother nature has pulled it off. That is one news. Have a great long weekends.
